programs or websites like itunes

hey guys im getting a google nexus 4 in a few days i have used itunes for years and for music its awesome, but when it comes to films and tv the files you pay for cant be played on anything but apple products and this boils my blood.

does anyone know any sites that are accessible from the uk that i can buy and download tv shows.

Spotify also spams Facebook with all the music you listen to, which I'm not really crazy about.

And if you listen to music from certain artists the quality is usually decent.

720p or 1080p

To be honest, for certain genres of music I don't notice a difference unless it's going from 240p to something higher.

You can make Spotify account without facebook connection. Unless thats US thing "FB only"..
Also Spotify should have "Private" mode that doesnt spam FB.
Spotify is awesome, even with ads.. Got myself free month trial on premium and its great too.

Problem with Spotify might be if you are searching some indie bands or asian music. Its pmuch western only with some "Gangman style" or Girls generation.

Thats where Youtube comes into play too. And 240p is horrible on all genres compared to stuff like 480p cept dubstep. Thats always bad ;P

"In the tone of their complaint you can see a mind already made up. Instead, it’s about affirmation they expected and didn’t receive. It’s not about the game getting universal praise from every writer reviewing it. It’s about getting universal praise for buying it."

Yeah, if I'm listening to electronica music or dubstep, it's gotta be 720p or higher, the sound difference is just phenomenal at 720p/1080p when compared to anything under that for the genres I listed.

Eh, I also wouldn't want to use Spotify, because it probably wouldn't have all of the music I listen to on it. My tastes in music have a ridiculously wide variety, so I don't know if it would have it.

For example, one moment I can be listening to Two Steps From Hell, then Traktor Bowling, then dubstep stuff, then Feint, then...and so on.

I always thought 720p/1080p was a description of video resolution. how does 1080p have a bearing on sound quality?

Really not being a dick...just curious.

Not sure myself, but I can definitely hear the difference in some songs, for example, try listening to this song on 360 p, then put it on 720 p (Or if you don't want to listen to the whole song, just the first 20 seconds of each setting), it's an amazingly large difference.

yeah, I have no doubt there is (can't listen to it...internet sucks BAd right now), but I just don't understand the terminology. Wouldn't that be a matter of bitrate and not resolution? Maybe it's a youtube only thing we upload videos and not audio files. Hmm yeah surely that has something to do with it.

Does the pixel count affect sound quality on Youtube?
I have seen on some videos that people have commented 'If you're not listening in 720p then you're not listening at all', can't remember where. I know the pixel count affects video quality but does Youtube change the sound quality as well?

Pixel count isn't related to audio quality, but youtube does compress audio at different levels for different resolutions. This would make more sense if Youtube listed videos as "low", "medium" and "high" instead. Here's the breakdown:

Lower "resolution" videos use the MPEG audio layer in mono at 22050hz, 8kb/s

Higher quality videos are in stereo using AAC audio (mp4a) at 44100hz and a variable bitrate.

Ultimately it's about matching the quality of the audio/video to your available bandwidth.

It's from quora, so I can only see the first answer, but it's one of the few things I could find.

Protip: dont connect your spotify accout to facebook if you dont want it to be shared, its that simple

Aye, I didn't actually know this was an option since I've never even been to the Spotify website, and Youtube serves all my music needs well enough, I've just seen it spamming on some of my friend's accounts when they listen to music on Spotify.

I think youtube uses resolution as a bitrate for dummies
